I would bet that the kangaroo court will take those charges very seriously. If you're not aware of the real cause of Arafat's death, go here.

Earlier on Sunday, the 'Palestinians' offered to drop at least one of their ICC petitions if Israel stops building 'settlements.' And they also threatened to drop 'security cooperation' unless Israel frees up tax money for them.

The official told The Times of Israel that
land seizures in occupied territory constituted a clear violation of
international law. Still, he noted that the appeal to the ICC would be
withdrawn if Israel were to freeze settlement construction, and added
that the Palestinian Authority had conveyed to Israel an official
message to that effect, through Jordan and Egypt.

The official, a confidant of PA President
Mahmoud Abbas, also threatened that security coordination with Israel
would be curtailed if Jerusalem failed to transfer Palestinian tax money
it has been withholding as a punitive measure over the PA’s ICC bid.
“In the first stage [the cessation of security coordination] will entail
a stop to arrests made by us,” he said. “We will only arrest those we
decide to arrest.”

Under current security arrangements,
Palestinian security forces also arrests terror suspects based on
intelligence received from Israel.

The official revealed that the PA had
established a special judicial committee to examine the issue of turning
to The Hague ahead of the date when Palestine will formally join the
institution – April 1, 2015.

The 'Palestinians' are willing to do anything to ensure that there will be no consequences for their refusal to make any progress on 'peace.' They are playing a waiting game in the hope that one day they will be stronger than Israel. What could go wrong?

The Wikipedia articles about Arafat's death seem to suggest that he did not have AIDS, and there are still many theories based on various studies as to what was the main cause of death. In any case, the UN never seems to miss an opportunity to make trouble for Israel.

About Me

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
